Contacts Pane in Windows Mail main page

G

Guest

Under Outlook Express I was used to displaying the list of contacts (my
address book) in the lower left quadrant of my main page, under where the
accounts and newsgroups were listed.

In Windows Mail, despite playing with the "View" button until I am blue in
the face, I cannot find a way to list my contacts down there on the main
page. Is it possible? How?

Nope. Its gone.

You can add contacts to the Sidebar or open them in a separate window.

Click the Contacts Icon on the toolbar to open them up.

Thanks. I'm running maintenance on the Vista machine right now but when I
get back to it I will have to figure out how to run a "sidebar." Gosh I love
progress :(

Just click on the Plus (+) sign and you'll get a list of gadgets you can add
to the sidebar and Contacts is one.

My sister who has memory problems now has a big stumbling block. We just
purchased a new computer for her and she loves e-mails. I had no idea
outlook express would not be an option, since she could use it. Is there no
way to reload express on a vista computer????

Use Vista's replacement for Outlook Express: Windows Mail (at the top of the
list of Start Orb > All Programs.)

Setup is the same as Outlook Express.

Others have already advised you how to proceed with Vista's mail
offerings. Windows Mail is not all that different from OE.
Depending on how severe your sister's learning disability is, it
may be worthwhile to look at some alternatives.
If you have access to the services of a good tech, he could
a) replace Vista with XP, or
b) add XP in a dual-boot environment with Vista.

I agree Donald..... one step backward for mankind type of deal. And they were
NOT thinking of the customer.

Hi everybody.
I have a problem. I downloaded a movie in avi format. I hear only sound, I
cannot see the picture because media player needs a codec. I followed the
instructions, I put Internet security to medium, played the movie an made
"download codecs automatically". I made a restart, but the problem still
exists. I want to make a copy for my dvd player.
I have w. vista & media player 11. Does anybody know the solution? A
software maybe?
Regards to All!
